Personality Disorders: How Can It Be Treated

National Institute of Mental Health

At first, people with these disorders usually do not seek treatment on their own. They tend to seek help once their behavior has caused severe problems in their relationships or work. They may also seek help when they are struggling with another mental health problem, such as a mood or substance abuse disorder.

Although personality disorders take time to treat, certain forms of talk therapy are helpful. In some cases, medicines are a useful addition.
